The princesses all come to help me move the bricks [Infrastructure]

101.

Emma and Anna didn't feel very good. The two of them instinctively realized that something was wrong, but the obviously excited Vesey nobleman and Prince Vessie didn't care about their unsubstantiated thoughts.

Anna also had no way to use the hidden treasure of the mermaid prince's crown pearl as some kind of evidence. After all, some things cannot be investigated deeply, and the identity of the mermaid prince cannot be proved.

The second night, a stormy night.

Almost everyone except Anna and Emma looked very excited, they celebrated Prince Vesey's harvest boisterously, boasting with all the compliments imaginable, the lights were brightly lit, and the air was filled with a smell of spice and The smell mixed with burning candle oil, and the windows were closed due to the storm outside, resulted in a particularly unspeakable smell, which was very oppressive.

There is almost no place in the cabin that is not lit, and several ball halls are even brightly lit all night.

Several bands played in turn, and people smoked and drank around the pianist, singing and dancing, laughing and joking. Even the nobles who claimed to be elegant and beautiful also tore open their skirts in the sweltering environment and mixed together for activities.

Anna basically showed her face a little, then returned to the room.

After thinking about it, she first told the female officer and others about her deduction. As an official person of the Kingdom of Lore, she followed Anna early. They were more loyal to Anna than expected when they had no other interests. is much higher.

Although they were very surprised by what Anna said, they also realized the key point after learning that Prince Vesey's harvest—the sea oyster should be the private collection of the ruler of Atlanta.

Now, apart from praying that what the prince of Weixi has done and obtained will not be known by the king of the sea, they have no other way.

Unlike land, they don't have any advantage in sea.

The land given by the gods that the Seven Heroes received at the beginning did not cover the ocean, and the Atlanta area has been managed by mermaids since ancient times. Of course, they used to manage the sea area for the ancient gods, but now they are for themselves .

Sea creatures such as mermaids will enjoy special bonuses within the range of the sea, which is the blessing and ability of the so-called "Sea God" series. In this regard, even the people of the Temple of Light do not have an advantage.

It is said that Neptune can control the ocean, whether it is a storm or the early sun, he can change it with his willpower. Under such conditions, people in a boat can only expect the help of God and luck, and hope to struggle. Or maybe fighting is the least ideal way to do it.

Anna obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere on board.

She can't tell what's wrong, but the current appearance of being drunk and dreaming after having fun really makes her very uncomfortable and uncomfortable.

Emma said that this was the normal state of some nobles, and it was no different from the usual balls or events, but Anna felt that there were some ominous and disturbing things in the air.

According to what Anna said, Emma didn't get involved in those rotten dance activities. She just showed up briefly and returned to the room on the grounds that she was unwell, and then asked the servants to find some life-saving supplies on the ship, from magic boats to water. And food, after stocking up one by one, let the servants play by themselves.

She can't control other people, but she and the people around her can still take care of one or two.

The same is true for Anna, making some preparations for herself and the people she serves.

The female officials also have nothing to do, they can only hope that the king of the sea will not find out that the treasure has been "stolen", or will not be angry, and other exchanges are also acceptable, but according to the known information, the intelligent creatures and land in Atlanta The relationship between the people in the city is not harmonious, and there has been no trade between the two sides for hundreds of years. All ships arriving in Atlanta will be destroyed in a storm like a curse, and there is no other chance of luck.

"My lord, everything is ready."

"What about Mr. Tull?"

"He's with me." Anna comforted Tal, who had been a little restless for some reason. The temperament of a cat boy is still somewhat different from that of a human being, and he is not good at speaking. He couldn't explain why he suddenly became weird again. .

Tal has an inexplicable interest in the crown pearl of the mermaid prince in Anna's hand. It's not the kind of interest that cats play with balls, but it seems to have some other "like" meaning.

"No, this pearl has to be returned to others." Anna tried to pull it back, but he wouldn't hold on to it, and was willing to give it to Anna. Overall, he seemed very obedient, but he was also reluctant to give up.

"Pearl..." Tal raised his head, staring at Anna with emerald green eyes, his confusion could not be hidden in his ignorant innocence.

"I haven't seen you like playing ball before...?"

Anna frowned, and heard that another female officer came back from the investigation, and only said that the bearded deputy who asked Zha before was unwell, and had already taken leave from the captain. The doctor on board went to see him, and she was indeed sick. Also less, other than that, there are no other problems.

"Bam—"

"what sound?"

"The boat rocked so badly..."

"What a big storm, how scary..."

Because of the storm, the big ship seemed very small and wobbly during the toss. As it was swaying up and down, something in the cabin was not fixed properly, and there was a very violent crashing sound.

Soon, the sound of the music covered up the little movement. Anna frowned, and asked a maid to go over carefully to check. The place where the sound was heard and something fell was not far away.

"It's such a dark day, such a heavy wind and rain, I don't know if the ship can sail to the key position as scheduled..." The female officer looked out the window worriedly and muttered to herself.

Anna was taken aback when she heard the words, and exchanged glances with the female officer. Both of them were cautious, and the female officer immediately arranged for people to go to the cabin.

"I'll ask someone to deliver some food to the people in the captain's room." As people in the Kingdom of Lore, they can't directly intervene in the issue of the ship, and they can't doubt others for nothing, but it's okay to send some supper there and stay there for a while. no problem.

"Don't prepare too strong wine."

"I know."

Drinking is a mistake. In theory, people in the captain's cabin are not allowed to have any drinking behavior.

In stormy days, there should be a dedicated person in the captain's cabin to be on duty and maintain, and confirm the route, but in this lively time of celebration, no one can tell what the situation will be.

After all, Anna and the others were not the ones arranging the sailing, so they couldn't get past Weixi's people to interfere, they could only confirm by insinuating.

But if the crew of Weixi are determined to celebrate the harvest for their prince, then it is really inconvenient for them to do something.

"Hey, thank you for your hard work." Anna sighed, "Be careful, the boat shakes badly, walk against the wall, it's okay to slow down."

Ana stayed in the room and taught Tal more complex conversations, including understanding some of the more difficult words and phrases.

For example, some place names, first Oran, and then some racial words, such as goblins, orcs, ancient gods...

Gradually, the atmosphere became warmer, after all, it was the "Children's Channel".

Tal studied this aspect very seriously, and his learning speed was very fast, which made Anna, a half-way teacher, feel very fulfilled. He also gradually calmed down, and he didn't seem to be so anxious.

"Bam—"

There was another violent crashing sound.

Anna frowned, and saw the maid who had been arranged before running back in a hurry.

"Grand Duke, a box of life-saving supplies and a lifeboat were dropped on the ship..."

"What?!" Anna was shocked.

"Yes, the sailor in charge drank alcohol and didn't pay much attention to things. As a result, after the storm came, the reinforcement work was not done well, which caused the life-saving materials to slide, and directly broke the only window in that warehouse, and the fixing belt broke. Then dropped a box of life-saving supplies and several medium-sized lifeboats."

"..." Anna's face was very ugly. At this time, the alarm in her mind was already sounding crazily, and now she did not expect that accidents would not happen.

"Fortunately, there are still two warehouses left, and there are barely enough first aid supplies. Now we have re-arranged people to strengthen and maintain it."

"I see." She nodded, and noticed that the maid was almost half soaked, probably because she had been exposed to a lot of rain and also suffered a lot of fright, so she told her to go back and change clothes to rest.

On the other side, the servants who prepared the supper and entered the captain's cabin were also in place.

In the captain's room, the atmosphere was really relaxed. Usually, when encountering such bad weather and scary situations, everyone would be afraid. Everyone would be beating drums in their hearts, whether the sea god was angry or not, but because of the festive event on Prince Weixi's side, Everyone still looks very relaxed.

The female officer came with a servant to deliver things, and tried a few things.

I only learned from the captain that the situation is good, and the captain and his deputy have been keeping an eye on the route, although this weather probably cannot be judged by the naked eye and experience.

In this way, the female officer also breathed a sigh of relief, with a little smile on her face, and chatted with them.

During the conversation, they learned that Prince Weixi didn't want to stop after he achieved this result. He hoped that the fleet could sail to a sea area where it was more likely to catch similar results, so that he could complete the last fishing—— The meaning is to be able to go to the high seas closer to the Atlanta area. Atlanta is known to be the most fruitful sea area, but for various reasons, he will not say this clearly, and the captain is not willing to go against it, but judging by his tone, this This thing is not so difficult.

"Is...is that so?" The female officer frowned again, wanting to test it out.

"Then do you know... the pearls caught by Prince Weixi... have there been similar examples before?"

"Of course not." The captain vetoed and said.

"This is also the first time in my sailing career that I have encountered such sea oysters and black pearls. I really deserve to be a prince. I am lucky to be able to keep up with this event..."

The female officer had a subtle expression on her face, and was about to say something, when suddenly a magical prop of unknown function placed on the platform in front of the steering wheel of the captain's cabin flashed red light and made a sound.

"Di-di-di-"

The captain's face suddenly changed, and the relaxed atmosphere in the cabin disappeared instantly.

"What's going on here?"

"Deviated." One person shouted, "The channel is deviated!"

"The compass failed?!"

"Is there something that interferes with magic nearby?"

"Why? The Forbidden Sea shouldn't be here..."

"Boom—"

Thunder roared, and lightning tore through the night, illuminating everyone's embarrassing faces.

The crew helped to recalculate the course, and the captain and second officer were also anxiously doing meaningless operations.

The female officer's face was ugly, and there was a lot of anxiety in her heart, but she hadn't completely lost her mind. It might be better to say that as a pessimist, she planned for the worst from the very beginning when she heard what Grand Duke Anna said.

She signaled a maid to go back to the Grand Duke immediately to pass on the news, while she insisted on watching quietly at a place that did not interfere with their work.

At this moment, there was a knock on Anna's door.

It was Prince Weixi's subordinates who said they were going to hold a "appreciation party" at midnight and invited Anna to go.

The main or the only thing that everyone wants to watch carefully at the appreciation meeting is the black pearl of Prince Weixi. At the same time, the black pearl will be displayed together with some other pearls in the same sea oyster.

Although it is a temporary event, it seems that everyone's attitude is very positive.

Anna could even tell from the servant's tone that it was a kind of pride, or arrogance, from Prince Weixi.

Her face suddenly turned cold.
